      Verdict

      Zhukov has never won off a mark this high but arrives off the back of a morale-boosting victory at Fontwell. Kevin Tork will also be hopeful of a big run from Upton Mead but it's hard to make a case for the Paul Henderson pair Amaury De Lusignan and Minella Ranger. KING OZZY is potentially well treated back over fences and could pop up in a weak race with Full Ov Beans struggling to get his head back in front off similar marks lately.
